Eyon Johnson, 46, was fatally shot on the morning of Thursday, October 27, 2022, inside Miguel’s West Indian Restaurant at Strauss Street and Lott Avenue in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Johnson and a 45-year-old co-worker, Damien White, were at the restaurant doing renovation work when two armed individuals approached, followed them inside and opened fire. Surveillance footage showed one shooter in a gray hoodie and another in black clothing. Johnson, a Crown Heights resident, was taken to Brookdale Hospital and pronounced dead; White was taken to Kings County Hospital in critical condition and died three days later.

Johnson was a married father of two and was remembered by his building superintendent as a cool guy and a good tenant. Police later arrested 46-year-old Sawandi Galara of Fort Lauderdale and charged him with murder and multiple counts of criminal possession of a weapon. Investigators identified a second suspect, 36-year-old Ornando Bovell, who was believed to have participated in the double homicide and remained at large.
